About the piece

Painted in 1909 during his Luminist period, Piet Mondrian’s 'Sea after Sunset' moves toward abstraction through rhythmic, pointillist brushwork. The piece captures the fleeting light of dusk over the Dutch coast, using a harmonious palette of cool violets and warm ochres to evoke a sense of profound stillness.
